The New Prez and "Footie"---which is not the NFL, for sure, but the global game:

Yawn.

Bottom line, he's won nothing, yet.

This is sports. We never let it go. For example...

I am sure the Saints and WTF players feel the same way.

You are too funny.

I can understand and empathise with Brown fans and their pain over "the Drive", "the Fumble" and now (have they settled on a name) "the dive" or "the pylon".

Boston fans have "Pesky's held the ball". Bucky Fing Dent" Grady F'ing Little" Tyree's "F'ing helmet". And I could go on and on.

But there is a difference between a fan's elevating their sports anguish to self-flagellation, and denying the demonstrated brilliance of Brady.

The denial was nuts 10 years ago, today its fucking delusional, or pure trolling.

Brady was not born in Kenya.

 I agree with the sports analyst who pointed out that it took Brady like 21 seasons to reach an NFC Championship game. How good could he be?

The Pylon will not be thought of in the same way as the Drive, the Fumble, the Shot, Red Right 88 or the Useless Piece of Horse Manure Blowing a Save By Throwing His Horse Shit Slider to a Batter Who Could Not Have.Cuaght Up to his Fastball If He Was at 70' 7" (Still Working on That One). Too much time to the end of the game. Henne's scramble was more important overall.

Many people say that Brady is the Jamie Moyer of football; a compiler who played on good teams that won, and likely would have won without him.

I’d be interested in finding one person who said that (and since you’ve never demonstrated any knowledge about football, I’ll discount you) let alone “ many”.

You're trolling, now, of course.

Moyer never won a single Super Bowl.

I believe that the Patriots' success the last two or so decades was due to the combination of Belichick and Brady and that Belichick remains among the handful of greatest coaches ever, but the fact remains that he's considerably sub-500 overall without Brady as his starting QB.   So those "many people" arguing that the Patriots "likely would have won without" Brady probably have a tough case to make.
